BlueFrog reports that Four More Major Spam Rings Agree to Comply with their terms and remove their users from their spam mailing lists.

Those spam rings called ATM, AP, CP and ILR will force their spam-sending affiliates to comply with the Registry and stop sending spam to the bluefrog community. Technical information will be exchanged on a regular basis to insure compliance with the Registry

BlueFrog by BlueSecurity is a little plugin that allows you to send spam complaints for your whole spam folder (well actually only 40 at a time…) to all sorts of central anti-spam organizations and governmental organizations like FDA (for drug spam), FTC, Interpol, etc.etc. as well as spam back the spammers with tons of opt-out requests…

Quote:

ATM has received large amounts of opt-outs recently and has attempted to block our members' opt-outs. The implementation of our "a friend in need is a frog indeed" plan nullified most of their evasive tricks. Coupled with the extensive work of our counter-evasion team, we were able to continue posting opt-outs despite all their evasion maneuvers.

The only question that remains: will the unethical spammer guys REALLY keep their word and comply or just use the bluefrog registry to send even more spam?!?!?
